Approved For Release 2009/09/28 : CIA-RDP87MOl152R000300300002-9 To: AD/ICS Thru: EXO/ICS Subject: HAC S&I Team - Followup Phone Call I received a phone call today from Mr. Bob Goffus, who was one of HAC S staffers who visited us yeaterday. He wanted and titles and phone numbers (I believe this is just routine record-keeping associated with their interview). He also said they had read E.O. 12333 with great interest, and noted they had found the following provision (complete excerpt attached): "In order to discharge the duties and responsibilities prescribed by law, the Director of Central Intelligence shall... Monitor National Foreign Intelligence Program implementation, and, as necessary, conduct program and performance audits and evaluations...". He said it is this responsibility that the team is trying to look at (i.e., who is carrying out this function, to what extent, etc.). I think we will be hearing more on this in the near future. cc: D/ICS D/PBS D/OLL/CIA !- Approved For Release 2009/09/28: CIA-RDP87M01152R000300300002-9 of organizations involved in the collection, processing and analysis of intelli- gence.
